Statistics Canada has linked the patient records in the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) (1992-2015) with the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) (1994 to 2015/2016), the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) (2002/2003 to 2015/2016), the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database (CVSD) (1992-2014), the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) (1982-2015), the T1 Family File (T1FF) (1992-2015) and the 2016 Census (long form). The linked data can be used to support research on the relationship between cancer diagnoses, surgical treatment(s), and socioeconomic factors as well as provide information that could help support policy and decision-making for the various stakeholders involved in the delivery of cancer care in Canada. The CPAC linkage contains the following datasets : CCR to Census 2016 (long form) concordance files Two set of concordance files are provided. One contains the CCR and Census identifiers only. The other contains the same set of identifiers as well as adjusted Census weights (both frequency weights and replicated weights).. CCR to IMDB concordance file.
